"A Family Tradition for 134 Years" THE PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, February 20, 2001 - 9 Every year throughout the world mil- lions of people volunteer their time, ener- gy and talents to help benefit their com- munities. Volunteers provide care for the elderly or infirm, serve on boards and commit- tees or lead or participate in a vast range of community programs. Or you might see them coaching the soccer, ringette .or hockey teams, mentor- ing young people or cleaning up a neigh- bourhood park. And then there are those volunteers who run community events. Whenever there is a need you will always find volun- teers. 2001 is the International Year of Volunteers. ~ Proclaimed by the United Nations as a way of recognizing and honouring the enormous contribution that volunteers make to society, 2001 is going to be a great year. It's a year to salute and cheer our many volunteers. All volunteers are outstanding.
